When it comes to paying with BTC, people under value it. You might be best to convert it to cash at Coinbase. They are located in the US and pretty trustworthy. People are dumping they HD 7950's and 7970's for the new AMD R9 290/290X. Good time to start picking up these cards on the cheap. I saw some sold a 7950 for $120 in Oakland. I live in the San Joaquin Valley, about 1hr 20 min to 1hr 35 min for SF.

Hm.., you might want to consider cex.io (referral link), it let you buy GH/S and collect dividend daily. Free electricity, management fee and etc.

i got lazy and stopped selling my stuff a couple months ago (at least I sold all my 5970's, hoho)

anyway, I have:

2 or 3x 5830's without fans
2 or 3x 5870's without fans

(a friend that pays 0 electricity was mining with these for a while and I haven't even opened up the box when he returned them, but I know the fans dont work.. ^^ those are the card only, nothing else)

and then,

2x Sapphire 6990's
1x MSI 7770
1x Powercolor 7790
1x MSI 7790
1x MSI 7850
1x XFX 7850
1x Powercolor 7950

the MSI's all have warranties that are based off manufacture date, so they'd all transfer over.  they all have about 2 1/2 years left.  pretty sure all the rest can't be transferred

for ^^ that stuff, I have all the original materials (box, manual, cd, sticker, whatever else) except for the two 6990's

asking price is negotiable, but, no, i'm not going to take some ludicrous offer (like $275 for five 5970s on some other thread).  look at ebay completed auctions for the last month, look at what they sold for (remember to add shipping charge), and I'd be looking for something like that value minus 35% (obviously the 5830s and 5870s would be much less, since they'd have to be listed as 'damaged' w/o the fans)

You can probably find 3x used HD 7950's for $150~$140 each on craigslist. 5-6 BTC is about $600 to $800 worth, it's possible under that budget. At worst, you might have to run 2x HD 7950's if you can't get it within that budget range.

One the low low budget, you can get away with HD 5850, 5870, 6950 and 6970. Next would be HD 5970 and 6990. Then the best power/hash rate would go to the HD 7950. Best to stay with the 7900's series at least for best performance. You can get away with 4 GB system ram and a decent single or dual core cpu. Best to have an open setup, then a case for cooling. Also have a good 750 watt PSU at least, but I would suggest 1000 watt to 1200 watt, depending if your going run more then 3x HD 7950's.

Thanks for your reply. It looks like Terracoin is the way to go if i give up on BTC.

Told seller I would be interested in a single unit shipped to Canada. Seller immediately asked for 70% upfront and 30% on delivery. I said I'm only interested if escrow is involved with either someone here on the forums or btcrow, seller declined escrow for the reason that he wants to order a 600gh/s card from BFL and does not want to wait for escrow. He then switched it to 50% upfront and 50% on arrival.
